Blog No.65
I must beg your pardon for being late with this transmission. Emperor Arrikzane and - admittedly - most of the government staff were up VERY late, partying VERY loudly over some local holiday celebrations.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for celebrating and having a good time, but I am also very much for sleep. Rest. Rejuvinating one's tissues. Preparing for all that will come one's way in the following day. Because as fun as it all is, the rest of the Galaxy will still be expecting competance.
I don't want to sound harsh, but I blame the Mos Eisely Cantina. Not to say that they are not a fine establishment. I am sure it is a . . charming place. After all, it's still around and I know that it's difficult for any dining or customer serving establishment to maintin stability in Mos Eisely. Cantina work is also transient, often, but the Mos Eisley Cantina has been there for a long time now. Kudo to them.
Now if only they wouldn't send crates of their wares to the Emperor upon request. Oh, he purchases it, make no mistake. The Mos Eisely Cantina is run by the Hutt Cartel, as I understand it and therefore it is interested in making a profit. However, they send over some pretty bizarre concoctions for the Emperor to try. And he seems to try them all!
Not that I've seen this with my own eyes, but as I lay awake, unable to sleep against the pounding cries of 'CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" and then maniacal cheering, I can't help but picture the illustrious Emperor with a lampshade on his head, dancing on top of a droid, while making funny faces.
What if this got about? What would people think? And it's in front of the staff!
Usually Arrikzane is more level headed than this. I mean, a little.
I suppose he wants to let loose occasionally. I can understand that. I want that too.
Why, last month, I made the ship pull over at a brook, and I got out and just - sat - for a good ten minutes! Can you imagine!
I know, I amaze myself with my unbridled wildness sometimes.
But I do wish the Mos Eisely Cantina would send some milder brews, or not as much or would refuse to send anything to the Emperor, perhaps!
But apparently, the Mos Eisely Cantina is happy for us to spend credits on them. I suppose that makes sense.
Maybe they could just do their partying at noon, and be done by supper? Then I could get some sleep!
Maybe I could slip down to the kitchens and switch all the drinks for some soothing droughts. They could all party into a sweet slumber. Then I could tell them how much fun they had and everyone would be happy! It sounds good to me. Perhaps I should just pay the Mos Eisely Cantina MORE to send something soothing. If they have any of that.
Hmm. . would that be ethical, though?
We have our winning topic of the week!
The topic winner is:
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it. Located in the Jedi Temple and written by Tuesday Devereux and Alexandria Grayson
Here is a quote from it:
Tuesday looked up at Alexandria and tilted her head "What? No he's mine," she said with a huff. She was above kidnapping children for the most part, she refused to hurt anyone under the age of ten without a good reason.
Well done, you both!
